valuable Presentation.

At the parlors of the St. Elmo last
night, Mr.. s. P. Jewett formerly Gem
eral Manager of the Los Angeles and
San Gabriel Valley railroad was pre-
sented by the employees of that railway
with large solid gold cable chain and
an elegant pendant on which was in
scribed: "Presented to S. p. Je,cett
formerly General Manager of the L. A.
d s. G. Y. r. r. by the employees of tie
road as token Of Friendship and es.
teem." A large silver punch bowl was
also presented by the same parties with
the same inscription on a tablet. Mr..
w. B. Stewart made the presentation
accompanying 1t with short and sffsc.
ting address. Mr.. Jewett was taken BY
surprise and in brief manner acknowl-
edged his thanks for these beautiful and
artistic presents. In regard to his con-
nection with the railway, he would
claim no credit for what he had done in
the matter, but stated that the business
of the road and the improvements along
the line were the speakers for the
evening and showed conciusively the
value of the line.
Champagne followed the remarks of
Mr.. Jewett after which the happy com
pany dispersed.

PHILADELPHIA, July 8. = General
Master Workman Powderly in the
Journal of Labor pays his respects to
grain and stock brokers in vigorous
manner. Referring to the recent corner
in coffee and wheat, Mr.. Powderly says:
The lesson taught, our members by
the experience of the past six weeks is
to keep their eyes open and to keep
them turned toward tho produce ex.
changes of New York, Chicago and other
large cities and the moment q grain or
produce gambler stocks the cards and
announces that there is q scarcity in GER.
tain articles of food and that prices will
go up in consequence, every member
should resolve and resolve out loud that
until the unhallowed hand of the spec
ulator has been removed from the con.
troll of the article in question, not q
pound nor an ounce more of it than can
be avoided will be purchased. This
may be regarded in the light Of ''boy-
cott" notice. This is exactly what I in.
tended it for. Were the power vested
in me to make the order imperative, /
would order every one to place q
"boycott" on every grain and stock

BY which Harvey was Defraud-
ing the Treasury Fund.

WASHINGTON, July S.tsomething of
sensation was created it the Treasury
d partment this afternoon by the dis
covery that trusly official in the de-
partment has been guilty pf systematic
attempt to defraud the government. He
was arrested at WilkesbArre yesterday
evening as he was about to take the
train for Washington. His name is
Oscar j. Harvey and he has been EN-.
ployed in the department since June
1885. when he was appointed chief of
horse claims division OF thP third audit
ors Office and it was while he held this
position that he psrpetratdd the frauds.
On the second Of June last he was
trans! erred to the head oil division in
the second comptroller's Office division,
which has charge Of claimt of the same
nature as those in the division which
he had Just left. Austin II.
Brown, of Indianapolis succeeded Harvey
as chief Of horse claims, end soon after
he took charge of the office he discover.
ed the frauds of which his predecessor
had been guilty. They consisted Of the
passage of forty.three fraudulent claims
for horses, aggregating $92I 900, and the
preparation of many additional cases of
a similar nature which were under con.
sideration in the Office.
The work involved the stealing Of
numerous incriminating papers from the
files of the department, and in thirteen
claims it was found that signatures in.
volving the names of thirty-eigh< officers
were forgeries. subsequently, it was
found that the second auditors name had
been forged to certificates received from
that office, and also that few cases
entered on the records of that office had
the stamp of different officials which had
been forged. Drafts were regularly is.
sued, and the examination of such
as have been returned a. paid, shows
that Harvey and Wynn are one and the
same person, and that although the drafts
were drawn in favor of claimants, the
money, with one or two exceptions, went
directly to Harvey or some of his rela.
tives. Iu addition to the forty.three
cases passed there have been $50 similar
cases adjusted, aggregatiny $50, 900, and
there are still pending and unadjusted
sixty eight cases, amounting to Sl3, 600,
making total OF l6l fraudulent cases,
which might eventually have
been paid but for the discov-
cry. Harvey was brought to
the city by officers of the secret service,
who have kept him under surveillance
since he was first suspected. He asked
to see the secretary, and when he was
informed of the evidence against him he
broke doyn completely and made full
confession Of his guilt.

New YORK, July SAT q meeting OF
the emigrant commissioners today
Commissioner Stephenson called atten-
tion to an advertisement in q German
paper published in Ohio of the American
Emigrant Company of 30 State street.
New York, in which is solicited the
deposit of savings and an offer to tran.
sact all kinds of financial business. The
commissioner knewa case of an emigrant
who deposited $1,000 with the company
and when he asked for his money he
received only part of it in cash and the
rest in Missouri bonds. Commissioner
Stephenson called at the Office of the
company and the manager said that up
to December last the institution was
known as the American Emigrant Com.
pany of Hartford, Conn. At that time
Bartholomew, the business manager of
the concern, left with the assets and the
concern was bought by j. c. Savery
and James Callahan. Savery told him
that the company had charter but a
diligent search failed to show any
record of it. Ssvery admitted that
their present liabilities were $3.50, 900
and that they had no assets.
Commissioner Stephenson also spoke
of another similar institution managed
by D. r. Sjostrom at q State street in
which the depositors had no security.

BURGLARS STILL AT WORK
Another House Broken into Early
Last Evenlng /.

Last evening between 5 and 6 O'Clock
burglars entered the residence of Mr.. l..
Meier, on the corner of Pearl and Ninth
streets by breaking pane of glass in
the back window and turning bolt on
the inside. They used two heavy pieces
of solder to batter down the doors on
the inside. The gardner had just ar.
rived and being attracted to the house
by the noise, he tried the back door but
found it locked. He then went around
to the front door, and was surprised to
ind one of the front windows open and
footprints leading across the lawn to the
gate. The services of an officer were
secured, and q tour Of investigation
made. The family is at present at Santa
Monica for the summer, and it was i'm
possible to ascertain whether the thieves
had departed empty handed or not.
The only clue the police have to work
upon is the two bars of solder which
were found in the parlors, but they are
confident of capturing the culprits.

region over the oil production OF this
State. Hon. James H. Platt, President
of the Platt. Washburne Refining Co., of
New York, and manager of the oil
works of Florence, Colorado, to-day
said: "The oil situation of Colorado is
this: There are now twenty wells being
worked, producing 700 barrels per day,
and this is sufficient to supply the de-
mand of this section west ut figure
lower than can be met by eastern CON-
panies. This will shut out of the Col.
orado market all the eastern oil, in
Guiding that of the Standard Oil CO.,
and the question now with Colorado oil
producers is how to handle their product
to the best advantage" In speaking of
the quality of Colorado oil, he said:

Sir William Vernon Harcourt criti-

eted Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
|FRANCIsco, July S.-The Chron-
morning prints series of let
Id affidavits found among the ef-
oEs of the late Abner L. Blake, form
1erly in the United States Customs ser
vice at Port Townsend. He died under
mysterious circumstances at Chicago last
May while on his way to Washington.
The article shows that Blake, who had
been removed from the Customs service,
held the opinion that II. F. Beecher, a
son of the late Henry Ward Beecher,
who holds responsible position in the
Customs service at Port Townsend, had
defrauded the Government. In one in
stance he had withheld from an inform.
er the amount due him growing out OF
arge opium seizure, the seizure in ques'
tion being fourteen barrels OF opium
found hidden in Alacken Bay, having
been placed there by the steamer Idaho.
The seizure of opium was sold by
the Government for $4,000, of which
4uitIucE W. NAs Aso"So ~
have received about $4,000. In the
papers of Blake it is shown that China.
man named An Cooy, Of Victoria, was
substituted as a dummy informer and
given small sum of money. These and
other serious charges of irregularities
were made by Blake to the officials at
Washington, but no attention being
paid to them, Blake started East with
them, but was induced to stop at Chi
cago and there died in hospital.
In letter written by Rouse from Chi
cago he expresses the. belief that Blake
there met "Bill" Minty, formerly en-
ployed on the steamer Evangele, run by
Beecher, and that foul play followed, re-
sulting in his death to prevent exposure.
All of Blake's papers fell into the Chron'
icle's hands, and it prints them in ex'
tenso.
Among the affidavits is one charging
that Beecher paid out various amounts
for expenses and for government sup.
plies, in each instance collecting more
from the government than he paid out.
